okay so please let me know if asking you more questions is bothering you but: 1. what is the magic like in this world? how is it inherited? how is it performed? wand/hands/spells/etc.? 2. do other characters show up and become friends with mar and jule? what are they like, if they exist? 3. tell me more about jule (just in general, random facts) 4. would either of them give up demon hunting for any reason? or are they very enthusiastic about what they do?

god no im SO glad ur interested, and honestly I’m pretty long winded so this is going to be fun. then im off to sleep time

1) Magic is varied, but basically the world is like ours only there’s a secret magic and supernatural world operating within in. Magicians, monsters, demons and stuff are all imbued with magical properties, although only humans (and in rare cases, monsters turned from humans like vampires, werewolves, and zombies) can actually learn and master varied schools of magic. Creatures like demons, faires and harpies are limited to the magic of their species and what they’re indivually created with. For instance, most fairies have illusory magic, harpies and werewolves have a inherent transformation magic (they can shift between human and monster forms), and depending on the type of demon, they have related powers. Mar and Jule are humans who learned battle magic, which can be of an elemental nature, or of a manipulative nature (shifting items around you be kickass). They use their magic to aid them in hunting demons

2) Mar and Jule have a couple of friends, mostly people from this gay bookstore bakery run by a dude named Damien Santos! Damien is a regular-not-in-the-know human dude, who has a weird backstory that involves getting disowned by his multimillionaire parents and using the hush-money so he doesn’t start a scandal to open up a gay bookstore bakery and live in the apartment upstairs. He kind of keeps to himself and doesn’t do much outside the bookstore, and Jule gets a job there and they quickly become fast friends. Mar kind of does a bunch of odd jobs and doesn’t make friends easily, but feels good hanging out at the bookstore. They know pretty much all the other employees and they look out for each other and hang out. Also, Damien starts dating this dude Nehal who is KIND OF AN INCUBUS WHOOOPPPSSSS and Mar and Jule are like fUCK how do we explain that we might have to straight up murder Damien’s new boyfriend. That starts Some Shit especially when Nehal and Damien kind of fall genuinely madly in love. 

Mar also kind of goes to a college nearby. He’s not enrolled or anything, but he sneaks onto campus to go to some engineering and math theory classes that are big enough to hide in. He gets noticed by Sarah Bolivar and her best friend Ji eun Kwon, and they sort of become aquaintances. Which sucks because unbeknownst to Sarah and Ji eun, Mar is a demon hunter, and Sarah is a harpy (not on his Kill List because diff race) and Ji eun is a Greater Earth Demon (a demon descended from corporeal demons who have lived on earth for generations)

Below are some drawings of them! their faces and builds are pretty much consistent even if some monstery details change a lot

Damien (1) Ji eun (1) (2) (3) Sarah (1) (2) (3) Nehal (1)

3) Jule loves books and likes dressing more formally than her sibling. She favors button downs, dress pants, nice shoes, etc. But he and Mar aren’t exactly rich, especially since fending on their own after their parents uh…kind of got swamped up with this High Council of Monster Hunters drama. he does most of his shopping at bulk thrift stores and doesn’t have a lot of clothes but is adamant about dressing sharply at all times. He’s kind of pretentious, honestly, and can be a know it all. But he’s really good with people and she’s probably one of the most friendly people around. People feel at ease around her generally. She really favors plant magic and uses some to keep her apartment with Mar nice and lush. It helps that they need a lot of herbs for some of their niftier spells. She also really likes baking and UTTERLY SUCKS AT IT. Damien let her bake the pies ONE TIME and she may have killed their oven and poisoned a few fellow employees. So books and plants are really her strong points. She really misses Mexico even though she moved away pretty young, like 5 years old, and romanticizes their past life a lot more than his sibling Mar does. It’s not that Mar doesn’t miss Mexico or doesn’t like Mexico–but he doesn’t see much difference between their life there and in America besides the difference in scenery and language. Jule likes reading Mexican poetry and being like “Uh, you probably never heard of it” when people ask him about it. So, yeah, somewhat pretentious. But then she will enthusiastically and happily guide the asker through her favorite poems.

4) They both love demon hunting. There’s the family pride, the sort of morally righteous high they get, and like, it’s plain fun. Sure, maybe you almost die or get eaten or get possessed, but YO its FUN if you do it well. Unfortunately, they kind of get exposed to how morally grey demon hunting is when they actually get to know some corporeal demons and realize that sometimes…murder is murder, even if it’s a demon. That doesn’t entirely deter them, because they’re very set in their ways and honestly you don’t become a demon hunter if u weren’t somewhat okay with straight up killing things, but it does cause for some conflict and fucks up their codependent relationship thing they got going. They have to make some choices and Mar zigs was Jule zags and they stay demon hunters just…very different kinds, at one point in their journey.

The thing with this story is that really no one is morally good or pure. But I would say that the most ‘good’ of them all is damien and nehal? even tho nehal is a villain at first, its really mostly a misunderstandin lol
